Does Cadillac care what Ford and Dodge are doing? No. Heck, they don't care what Chevrolet is doing. They are hunting Germans.
I doubt they will try and thump that 707HP number. But the CTS-V had more HP than any other GM other than the ZR1 when it was released. So it's not like 650HP is going to be a line in the sand.
If the rumors about a twin turbo V8 driveline are correct, it is not unreasonable to think the top Caddy will get more than 650HP/650TQ. And it will be lighter than the Kittycat. perhaps AWD to boot.
All fantasy at this point. But a flying ATS-V is probably just the tip of the iceberg for Caddy.

Doubtful they will build 700HP CTSV. The next CTSV will only come in a 4 door no more coupes.
